QUIC: ngx_quic_buffer_t use-after-free protection.

Previously the last chain field of ngx_quic_buffer_t could still reference freed
chains and buffers after calling ngx_quic_free_buffer().  While normally an
ngx_quic_buffer_t object should not be used after freeing, resetting last_chain
field would prevent a potential use-after-free.
